Alleyway Anthem

[Verse 1]
Sticky booth in the back of the club
Cheap cologne and a blackout buzz
You flash cash like a plastic crown
Talk real big, then you black right out
Make a bet that you can buy some love
Like a fix in a bathroom stall
But the mirror in there says different
Shows a scared little kid in a leather vest
[Chorus]
This ain’t a love song, this an alleyway anthem
You treat hearts like trash then you can’t understand ’em
You brag all night, but you’re breaking inside
You’re just running from the void you can’t hide (can’t hide)
Alleyway anthem, spit that shame
You keep paying for a body ’cause you’re scared of a name
[Verse 2]
Cold hands, fake tan, you don’t ask her age
You just scribble your guilt on a motel page
She stares through you like a flickering sign
‘Cause she’s heard every line a thousand times
You call it “fun,” she calls it “work”
You call it “wild,” but you just hurt
You chase power in a rented bed
But you can’t buy a soul, so you buy regret instead (yeah)
[Chorus]
This ain’t a love song, this an alleyway anthem
You treat hearts like trash then you can’t understand ’em
You brag all night, but you’re breaking inside
You’re just running from the void you can’t hide (can’t hide)
Alleyway anthem, spit that shame
You keep paying for a body ’cause you’re scared of a name
[Bridge]
You’re loud in the night
Then alone in the dawn
All that front, all that fight
Till the rush is gone
You want more, want more
But you feel so small
You can rent every room
Still feel nothing at all (nothing)
[Chorus]
This ain’t a love song, this an alleyway anthem
You treat hearts like trash then you can’t understand ’em
You brag all night, but you’re breaking inside
You’re just running from the void you can’t hide (can’t hide)
Alleyway anthem, final round
Time to kill that macho myth you’ve been dragging around
